The newest addition to Futue Legend Records' cult themes series tackles a cornicopia of songs and themes from the 80s, writes Ali Masud.

FLR boss Russell C Writer continues his innovative idea of avoiding obvious tracks and artists to create an intriguing selection peppered with pop noir stylings.

Versions of When Doves Cry and Pretty in Pink rub shoulders with Bond themes The Living Daylights and For your Eyes Only, while the likes of Dynasty and the Blues Brothers get a long overdue makeover.

Pick of the bunch for my money is Phosphoric's version of Cat People and The Incredibly Strange Film Band's medley of The A-Team/Hill Street Blues.
